IN STUDIO: Learn to Quilt - Make a Finished Lap Quilt

Four Session Class

Tuesdays & Thursdays, November 9, 11, 16 & 18, 6pm - 8:30pm

Learn how to make a beautiful, strippy-striped quilt with instructor Chelsea Hard. Find out how much fun it can be to make your very own quilt! This class is perfect if you have never sewn a quilt before and want to have a finished quilt in time for the holidays.  

Chelsea will walk you through quilt-making basics including:

• Using a sewing machine
• How to properly use a rotary cutter and ruler
• Design layout
• Accurate piecing skills
• How to baste your quilt
• Using a walking foot to quilt your quilt
• Binding

You will leave class with a finished (or nearly finished!) quilt and the confidence to take on more complicated patterns and techniques. You will also get a free day pass to the studio to come and sew during an Open Sew session.

Skill level: ✂️

You've seen a sewing machine before, but you've never played with one, or if you have given it a try, you'd really love a little extra help to make sure you're doing it correctly.

Supplies: You will need the following supplies for class. 

• Jelly Roll: A jelly roll is a pack of precut 2.5 inch strips usually of 40 different fabrics
• Backing Fabric: 4 yards of fabric for the back of your quilt.
• Binding Fabric:  ½ yard of fabric.
• Batting: Twin sized package (or purchase by the inch from Hello Stitch)
• Basting Pins
